Hampshire. We like to give you hints and tips on maintaining your Volvo or Toyota to help reduce breakdowns and expensive car repair bills.
The blog this week is based around maintaining the bodywork and interior on your Volvo or Toyota.
Good car maintenance does not stop with taking care of the mechanics of your Volvo or Toyota, there are benefits to keeping your Volvo or Toyota in tip
top condition internally and externally too. Firstly you must always ensure that the numberplate on your Volvo or Toyota is kept clean and thoroughly
readable – if not you risk getting pulled over by the police and fined! Now we are moving into the winter months our cars will become dirty very quickly.
It is advisable to wash the car weekly and make sure lights and number plates are kept thoroughly clean. Once the gritters take to the roads you really
do not want to leave that salt and grit on your Volvo or Toyota bodywork for long. When your Volvo or Toyota is covered in dirt it is hard to see if
there are any dents and chips in the paintwork which may need your attention – it wont take long for rust to form if you do not deal with them straight
away – resulting in either a more expensive repair or a drop in resale value.
Keeping the bodywork and interior of your Volvo or Toyota immaculate will help to ensure you obtain the maximum resale value when it comes to selling your
car. A well maintained vehicle shows potential buyers that you have not neglected the car and that it should be a pretty safe bet to purchase it. They
will see that they do not need to spend any money on it.
Interior Top Tip: Avoid cleaning the dash board to a polished finish as you could end up with glare on a sunny day!
Muddy and wet feet will play havoc with the carpets – always ensure you have car mats in place to protect your interior. Always make sure you mop up any
spills quickly, its easier to clean up a stain when the stain is fresh rather than waiting for it to dry and become imbedded in the upholstery. Always
remember to feed the leather with a good quality leather cleaner and feeder to avoid cracks appearing.
